| 74 days on a felucca: New adventure on the Nile Posted: 17 Jan 2013 01:02 PM PST For 15 years following an attack in Luxor, a 400-mile stretch of river has been off-limits to tour boats. Now it's ready to receive visitors Article Page In 1939, U.S. writer Willard Price traveled to Aswan, Egypt's southernmost city. He hired a felucca, Egypt's traditional boat with a lateen sail, and embarked down the Nile. Some 600 miles and two months later, a sandstorm flipped his felucca just south of Cairo and Price and his provisions ended up in the river. An equally ambitious felucca adventure hadn't been attempted since. The stretch of country between Cairo and Qena has been closed to foreign visitor since 1994, when tourist boats were banned from operating freely in Middle Egypt.
